I have several libraries on hackage that depend on wxhaskell. Because
wxhaskell is not itself on hackage, my libraries won't compile and won't
haddock there. I'd really like to have cross-library haddocks all working.
Is Cabal for wxhaskell in the works? Are there roadblocks?
If Ross could build wxhaskell (both libs and docs) on the Linux machine that
hosts hackage, then he could hack around lack of Cabal building. But he's
having trouble.
What version of wxhaskell is recommended for Linux? Does it build
successfully? Is there anyone who would help Ross through the process?
Thanks, - Conal

Thanks. I'll ask around. - Conal
